[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5182700, member: 1409"] I'm telling you from lots of experience, it's really not that much more effort or time, just requires using frequently to get it all down pat :) Few things are more frustrating to me than very carefully & quietly walking to a pre-placed ladder stand on a perfect morning, pre-dawn, with deer all around, maybe thinking I'm just a big racoon, they're not alarmed by my coming thru, then about half-way up the ladder, there is this loud metallic "pop". Every deer within hundreds of yards has now been spooked. This also happens with some tripod and box stands as well, but metal ladder stands are the worst. By contrast, scratching a little bark with a climbing stand doesn't seem to spook deer. But metallic sounds and the tearing apart of velcro will sure spook any that hear it. Did I ever mention I hate velcro with a passion? :D And it's often hard to find top-end hunting clothing without it! It gets removed and replaced with rubber buttons. [/QUOTE]
